Nice bark. The proportion of the sclices to the chunks is overweighted to the back of the box. The chunks look like they were placed without much thought to symetry. The glaze is appetizing to me.

the glaze is really nice. Great color to the bark. The sliced portion is overpowering in the box. Makes the pulled pieces look like afterthoughts.

Nice job of displaying the meat. Could be a 9 with just a little tweaking

Looks a little too dark for me, but appealing. Not quite excellent.

Score: 8

I want to try this! The bark looks very nice. I like the arrangement and want to reach out and snitch one of those chunks while everybody else is still scoring appearance! From the pic, I think the glaze might be a little overwhelming BUT in person, it might be just right and slide this one up to a 9!

Purpose

The purpose of BBQ Critic's JudgeMyBox section is to provide feedback to competition cooks. Certified BBQ Judges who visit this site will score the photo of a contest box (using KCBS judging rules) and may optionally leave a comment explaining their score.

The idea is to allow the cook to get inside the mind of a judge (judges do have varying opinions) so they can use this information to help improve scores on APPEARANCE.

In turn, the BBQ Critic editorial team will provide feedback on some judge scores and commentary that stray from the KCBS rules. This will help our judges become better judges and keeps everyone on the same page. Judges may also encounter some fun challenges at times (click for example).Comments about boxes or judges scores may be discussed in our online FORUM in a respectful manner.Please be mindful that scoring photo boxes may not be as accurate as scoring the box in person. Lighting, glare, angles, etc may affect the overall score. Judges also have more time to stare at your box, so that means we may get very detailed about the good and the bad.
